    I’m a 1994 graduate of Howard University. Nobody and I mean nobody knows us like us. Dr. Black’s speech was relevant and inspiring. It spoke to the deepest part of all of us who had the honor and gift of matriculating through a HBCU. My skin felt like it was dancing from beginning to end. His speech is relevant for new grads and previous ones. This is the standard!

    I am a 1984 graduate of Morehouse College. I was honored to have President Biden speak at our Commencement. Having the World's attention on us and hearing our name mentioned over and over. The commencement speak was a campaign speech. Not really for us but look at what I have done. Dr. Daniel Black I am Honored to hear your speech and Envious. We didn't have you. Your speech was spoken directly to the Graduates of CAU and to future CAU students. Your speech spoke as to why we need HBCU Schools. They are not like us. They don't talk like us, and sho as Hell don't encourage like you. Your speech had me feeling like I was in Church. I involuntarily shouted out Hell Yeah!!! I am a dentist and my staff came a running. What!!? Only thing I could say was truth is being spread like seeds. Dr. Black your words Encouraged, Uplifted, Motivated, and Inspired. Here They Come World. Congratulation to My Fellow AUC Brothers and Sisters. Let Your Light Shine

    Did what a commencement speaker is supposed to do. Concise, impactful, culturally relevant to his target audience (the graduates), thematic, complimentary and motivational. I have ears on the ground there and some people were not pleased with the choice. Looking for a national celebrity or someone that ranks higher on instagram. They made the right damn choice. In house, home-grown, proud alumnae and unapologetic....... HIGHLY qualified to speak to black graduates. Job well done!!!!!!!!!
